Although trained as a TEFL teacher after I retired, I hated the focus on the communicative approach to teaching English as a foreign language. I much prefer the approach taken by the Spanish in teaching Spanish as a foreign language: a big, overt emphasis on grammar but with plenty of practice and production thrown in. Hence the two Murphy Books (this one and the Intermediate version) have become a major reference for me in preparing my lessons. They are brilliant. As previous reviewers have said, they're arranged in a logical order and appropriate for different learner levels. So, for example, he covers the use of articles (definite and indefinite) at a basic level in this Basic volume but comes back to the subject again in the Intermediate book where he refines our use of articles, so good for intermediate and upper intermediate students. If I could only take two books back to Peru it would be these. Thank you very much, Mr Murphy! Review: Clear and simple grammar book with exercises - My students love this, as much as someone can love a grammar book! Its all in colour and everything is simply explained. The grammar points are broken down and put simply on a two page spread, a grammar point on page 2 and the exercises on page 3, no looking halfway down another page to finish the exercises or searching to find the explanation. Fantastic, and very organised with the content and the way everything is laid out. I only wish there were more exercises for each grammar topic, but then they did publish supplementary exercises which I also use. This is a good series, I recommend this book to anyone teaching English (or perhaps even learning by themselves). I do have another wish that there were grammar books of comparable quality for learning French, Spanish etc.. but nothing comes even close. Really recommended, A* ! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 742,810 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 340 in Beginners English as a Foreign Language 1,338 in English as a Foreign Language Exams 1,401 in Grammar, Structure & Syntax | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 635 Reviews | ## Images ![Essential Grammar in Use with Answers: A Self-Study Reference and Practice Book for Elementary Students of English - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xTmlhGb3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Grammar Bible *by G***N on 22 January 2013* Over the last couple of years, I've been teaching English to students in Peru.

It does away with scary grammatical explanations and instead leads the student through various models in common english to provide real experience. Each section comes with an exercise to cement ideas in the students' minds and these are not complicated and provide useful conversation points for lessons. On the whole a book which concentrates on 'when' we use as opposed to 'why' and while it is important for foreign language students to learn grammar, this is invaluable as a first step. ## Frequently Bought Together - Essential Grammar in Use with Answers: A Self-Study Reference and Practice Book for Elementary Students of English - English Grammar in Use Book with Answers: A Self-study Reference and Practice Book for Intermediate Learners of English --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68643523-essential-grammar-in-use-with-answers-a-self-study-reference](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68643523-essential-grammar-in-use-with-answers-a-self-study-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
